So, I tired solo mining (yet again). And I've spent the last three hours trying to 'set it up' with no luck (you may remember - I'm not very tech savvy). My wallet it fully synced (I never close it!) and I'm using Thirtybird's cpu miner along with the following conf.
Code:
rpcuser=*my_user_name_here*
rpcpassword=*my_password_here*
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=3433
port=7688
daemon=1
server=1
gen=1
genproclimit=-1
rpcpassword=*my_password_here*
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=3433
port=7688
daemon=1
server=1
gen=1
genproclimit=-1
I've tried several dozen config files from all of the google searches; but this is my 'current' one. My script for the cpu miner is as follows.
Code:
@echo off
echo Mining script was last updated on 7:38 PM 9/15/2015.
echo.
echo Enter the number of threads to mine with.
set /p threads=
cd "C:\Mining\minerd-yacoin_stratum_x86_2_4_0"
start minerd-x86-corei7.exe -a scrypt-jane -t %threads% -s 2 -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3433 -u *my_user_name_here* -p *my_password_here*

I've been a fatful YAC miner since day one, and I just want to be able to mine AND receive payouts. I don't feel like that is too much to ask. I'm really hoping someone here can help me get mining again.
About payments:
As far as I know (and I'm monitoring this situation) public chain has about 100% orphaned blocks. So no one on public chain has payments.
About config:
1-st question. Do you mine with minerd and yacoind on the same computer?
If answer yes - you dont need the option gen=1 in file yacoin.conf
Gen=1 only affects whether yacoind itself will mine. It does not need to be on in order for an external mining program such as minerd to work. All minerd needs is an RPC connection to yacoind in order to find out what work it needs to do.
If answer no - i.e., minerd and yacoind are running on different PCs
You should set rpcallowip with minerd IP and use yacoind IP in url
http://yacoind_ip:3433
2-nd. You shouldnt use stratum in url because yacoind has no stratum!
Simply use http://127.0.0.1:3433
3-rd. Your wallet should be unlocked
Also please check option -a scrypt-jane
It may be ok for you version of minerd but for my Im using -a scrypt-chacha
My cmd line:
Code:
minerd-x64-avx.exe -a scrypt-chacha -o http://192.168.1.1:3334 -O alenevaa.CPU1:1
I hope it helps you!
Best wishes
